On October 3, 2023, Acushnet Company (the “Issuer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Acushnet Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), completed the issuance and sale of $350,000,000 in gross proceeds of the Issuer’s 7.375% senior notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated October 3, 2023 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee of the Notes, and the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Issuer as guarantors.
The net proceeds from the Notes offering will be used to repay existing borrowings under the Issuer’s revolving secured credit facility and to pay fees and expenses related to the Notes offering.
The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Issuer, will mature on October 15, 2028, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed in accordance with their terms, and will bear interest at the rate of 7.375% per year, with interest payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2024.
The Issuer may redeem all or part of the Notes at any time prior to October 15, 2025 at 100.000% of the principal amount redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium. Thereafter, the Issuer may redeem all or part of the Notes at annually declining redemption premiums until October 15, 2027, at and after which date the redemption price will be equal to 100.000% of the principal amount redeemed.
